Rita Bahuguna slams Mayawati over Education Act row

Rita Bahuguna Joshi, chief of Congress party for Uttar Pradesh, slammed state chief Mayawati on Sunday for seeking funds from the central government to implement the Right to Education (RTE) Act in the state. Joshi said that Mayawati has emptied the state coffers for erecting statutes and building tourist parks, but when it came to education for children she cannot implement the Act due to lack of funds.
